In a world of doom-scrolling and stress, I am eternally grateful for the flute. It provides me with community, goals to work toward, and a therapeutic means of connecting with others in a way words cannot. It is my passion, duty, and calling to share the beautiful things music can bring to our lives.

Having had the privilege to learn top-tier flute technique during my own studies at UCLA and Escuela Reina Sofía, I provide my students with targeted exercises and weekly areas of focus to help them master the fundamentals of flute playing, including tone, breathing, air support, finger placement and technique, posture, and vibrato. All students are provided with a shared Google Drive folder containing lesson materials, as well as a notebook to track exercises and progress. A solid and correct foundation of flute fundamentals is essential to playing music artfully and effectively. Inspired by the transformative power of music, I look forward to sharing the joy of flute playing and helping students craft melodies that touch the hearts of their listeners in ways words cannot.

Lessons are available online or in-person in Freiburg, Germany. All first lessons are free.

As a veteran of receiving online lessons in high school before the COVID-19 pandemic, I am familiar with the effective structures of online lessons and the online learning platforms available to deliver high quality instruction through the internet

Please prepare a short piece that you (or your child) feel comfortable playing. This will allow me to give a mini-lesson and give you a sense of my teaching style.
